Ian (42) has extensive experience in all aspects of finance in large complex organisations. He joins Renold from Keepmoat Group, the UK's leading national provider of social housing refurbishment and regeneration services and a developer of low-cost, affordable housing, where he has been Deputy Chief Financial Officer since June 2015. Previously, Ian spent 10 years at Speedy Hire Plc, the UK's leading tools, equipment and plant hire services company, latterly as Group Financial Controller in the UK, from 2010 to 2015. Ian will join the Company directly upon release from his current employment which will not be later than 3 January 2017.

Further to the announcement on 20 July 2016 that Brian Tenner had informed the Board of his intention to leave Renold in order to pursue other opportunities, the Board has now agreed that Brian can leave the Company with effect from 18th November 2016, following the interim results on 15 November 2016.

Mark Harper, Chairman, said:

"We are delighted that Ian will be joining Renold. He brings with him a wealth of relevant experience which will stand us in good stead as we continue to implement our Step 2020 strategy.

"We'd like to reiterate our thanks to Brian for his substantial contribution to Renold, improving business performance, rationalising operations, de-risking the pension fund and improving cash and treasury management. We wish him and his family all the very best for the future."
